 New Features
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^
 + Development of new data classes for handling source list, photometry, and catalog data which include data format validation. [#125]
-+ Aperture photometry streamlined into ``single_image_photometry``  ``multi_image_photometry`` functions that use the new data classes. [#141]
-+ Photometry related notebooks updated to use new data classes. [#151]
++ Aperture photometry streamlined into ``single_image_photometry`` and ``multi_image_photometry`` functions that use the new data classes. [#141]
 + ``multi_image_photometry`` now is a wrapper for single_image_photometry instead of a completely separate function.
-+ Logging has been implemented for photmetry, so all the output can now be logged to a file. [#150]
